Just pick up our new to us 2015 Q7. I always like to have the factory service manual (or as close as I can find to the FSM) on hand for all the cars we have. Where is the best place you guys have found to get a service manual for the Q7s? What do you guys use to while performing repairs on your vehicle?

I subscribed to erwin for a day and spent a bunch of hours downloading everything I could find for my '08. Besides the service manual, there are a lot of technical and training papers about the various components and subsystems. About $35, if my memory is working at all.

I had seen erwin, just wasn't sure how much could actually be downloaded, and what was actually able to be downloaded. Tiger, were you able to download the complete service manual? Anyway you could post a sample pic of what it/the pages look like. How long did it take you to do the download process?

I can't guarantee I have the complete service manual because I don't have a list of what makes it complete. I've got 21 separate files. I also captured about 200 files of system descriptions, training materials, and TSBs. Took me overt 4 hours to comb what's through available and do the actual downloading. You need to know what equipment you have. The transmission file I downloaded for instance covers only the 0AT transmission. Here are 2 sample pages:

Thank you sir. That looks like it might very well be worth $35 and a days time.

Has anyone tried this? https://www.factory-manuals.com/expa...anual-246.html
It’s purportedly the repair manual for 2013-2015. It’d be nice to have independent confirmation of content before dropping the change on the pdf.

OTOH, would the AllDataDIY, Chilton, or erWin subscription be better?

I’d rather spend some money once than spend a couple hours searching the web everytime I want to find the location of some module and then, when I’m taking it out, whether I’m going to break some tab I can’t see ‘til its too late.

Has anyone tried to use emanulsonline.com? Good price and looks to be everything in one PDF. Just not sure if it real or a scam.

For $26 and the ability to pay w/PP, I figured why not. It seems legit (well, as legit as a PDF of ERWIN or ALLDATA can be...)- I bought the 2011 version and ended up with a 8625 page PDF and 6 self study programs. Not too bad. The main PDF isn't well organized, but oh well.

Downloaded one for the Q7 and one for my Cayenne. Look legit.

Thanks
